My concern is that we are not been linked with a single right back when with aurier and trippier we definately need an upgrade!

This for me is a priority but I guess it is dependant on trippier or aurier or both leaving.

Intrigued to see what happens next.

A RB would seem critical, move Eriksen out before next summer and replace, probably a replacement for Toby, I’d prefer to keep but that doesn’t seem likely based on media speculation. Oh and a quality backup for Harry.

If Ndombele is all we do it won’t be enough to catch up with City and Liverpool.

from what I’ve seen Betis is making Lo Celso look expensive and our attention seems to be turning towards Ceballos with a loan to buy or buy back option. Plus if we get to offload Eriksen to Madrid as well, could provide us with some beneficial transfer budget flexibility.

Can the eds shed any light on the bale deal? Is it possible. lots of rumours but I can't see us touching his wages.

Apparently we have bid 18m for Ben chilwell . not sure why we need a 3rd left back.

Hi eds

Trying to decider what paper talk is rubbish and what isn't and wondered if you had any further insight?

Not itk at all but reading across various sites I get the opinion we are going to go for

Vasquez
Wanyama
Embolo/ janssen

I know we are linked with lacazette but can't see us spending that money if the above 3 are realistic targets.

{Ed002's Note - Spurs, Milan and Fiorentina have all enquired about the availability of Palermo's Franco Vazquez and all have been told that he will be allowed to leave in the summer - but at a price. And that is where there is a sticking point - the price is seen by all three clubs as very high and it is high because there is an English side interested. A deal can be done but Palermo would need to reduce the asking price.

Spurs do remain keen on Wanyama and may return with another offer and the lure of the Champions League. Arsenal's interest has waned as they have a preferred target in mind.

Basel's Breel Embolo remains a target of Borussia Moenchengladbach, Spurs, Inter, Juventus, Red Bull Leipzig and West Ham. Basel are aware of interest from all of these clubs in addition to Wolfsburg who have discussed a transfer with the club and have had a good offer rejected. Inter will push to agree a summer move when they can raise the funds. Barcelona, Everton, Real Madrid, Southampton, Liverpool and Leicester have also had the player watched but not declared any interest just yet.

AZ's Vincent Janssen has attracted a great deal of attention with his performances this season with van Gaal having scouts watch him on several occasions and Schalke 04 doing the same. Everton have approached AZ regarding Janssen knowing that they will almost certainly lose Lukaku in the summer. PSG and Arsenal also both have a declared interest. The player knows that if he does move he needs to be playing every week or his potential international career could hit a stumbling block. I am not aware of any Spurs interest in Janssen.}

Thanks ed002 I think our priorities are strengthening three areas. Striker winger and box to box midfielder we saw this season that when dembele was out we were weak.

A few outlets are suggesting we are in advanced talks with Michy Batshuayi about a summer deal - not sure what "Advanced Talks" mean but is this just paper drivel trying to fill the headlines now january has gone or could it be true.

In my opinion he would be great at the lane and an excellent alternative to Kane.

{Ed001's Note - he might well leave in the summer, but there are no ongoing talks right now regarding him that I am aware of.}

Thanks ed001 just the same old media bs. I think its going to be hard for us to sign a big name striker when they are going to be backup - that's why I can't understand why we didn't do the dembele deal.

We were linked with him as we are with everyone and don't know if there was ever any serious interest. But he looks a great talent.

We watched him a bit. It was his off the field antics that put us off. He is an absolute joke. He even tweeted about Gareth Bale saying how much he hated him and spurs, called Bale a monkey and how much a better player Jack Wilshere was! Plus he wasn't good enough for spurs.

Well said Ellis, I hate young talented players who think they are a cut above the rest without doing anything in their early Years, Maddison and Grealish will do nothing in their careers as they are good championship players at best and spurs is too big of a club for them pair.

He needs to go along with eriksen for mega money as they both go missing too much in the season, apart from Harry Kane the whole team have been absolutely shocking this season.

I love my tennis as well ed, I've been smashed many of times on henman hill with the champagne and strawberries. I always think who would be king if they all played together at their best, Federer, Sampras, lendl, borg, McEnroe, conners, Agassi etc.

Ellis agree lamela should have played instead of alli. but otamendi was yellow seen red given b7t no intent at all. both kane and alli should have walked. m the funny thing was a 3 game ban for alli may have been a good thing.
